Stay still patient; wilt thou my sister of merciful troth be?
I shall attempt the halter of thy life make less lighten d!
I shall climb the yew
Will it subdue me or not!
Swooning emotions smite my bosom -
I have in aptness depriev d thy eyrie
Oh! - but ne er alas;
Fro many another a lass -
Lodge here fore ermore.
Dodge thither sable of yore!
A narrow dell hath now for me turn d into a broad land;
A land rich with fields of the Simbelmyne.
Sonorous to my ears are the words form d by thy tongue;
Conquer me! - Waylay me! - Swathe me twixt thy arms!
Make me sense the wine which is drunk by queens
And let it flow white and full in tast o er my lips.
Make me sense the wine which is drunk by kings
And let it flow red and full in taste o er my lips.
A dais d bridge o er the ghyll
In which a river bottomless -
I would have drowned
Yet thou drewest me out soaking!
Save thou art not yet all parched -
Eavesdroppest ye: A wee drop
I can hear it! - I can feel it!
Whence it comes I can only deem
Yet I will not tarry idly!
Lest this for me is a gay dream:
Let it adamant be -
A dream that will sojourn eternally -
Empty the flagon in me!
In which theatre I will act!
